Intro:
The USA supreme court weighs in on the Trump administration’s bid to restrict conveyance of birthright citizenship to children born in the USA by parents unlawfully present within its borders.
All Aboard the Socialism Train
The supreme court just released its decision on the current Trump administration’s bid to curtail birthright citizenship conveyed on children from parents illegally or unlawfully present in the USA. The court of public opinion is out partying like its 1999 or New Year’s Eve in July, considering the USA Supreme Court just handed the far left socialist, hook or by crook (preferably by crook) democrats a guarantee that they will ride the wave as career politicians, thanks to the supreme court's gift of a virtually unlimited base of illegal or unlawfully present voters converted to citizens simply upon birth of their children in the USA.
Take for example the current situation ongoing, since the president Biden era. One of the parents can enter the USA, pregnant, and have that child born in the USA, a few months later, then obtain birthright citizenship conveyed on the child, as now ratified by the supreme court. That may not sound like an issue to most far left liberals; but the kicker really is: How can such citizenship be conveyed on a newborn child without a defacto conveyance on the parents? This is what you call gaming the immigration system, which is that to what Buddy Biden opened the doors, since ascending into office in 2020.
Let’s take a look at what exactly the Supreme Court had to say on the matter:
“Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizen- ship Clause. Pp. 2–26.” Supreme Court Opinion.
This is absolutely ludicrous. The far left frat party and flip-floppy “I wanna be loved” Justice Roberts (GOP) signed off on this nonsense. Did any of these justices actually attend law school or even bother to read the USA Constitution to which they allege to have allegiance? You guessed it. Nope. Actually reading the Constitution, alongside the context in which it is written, takes too much time and cognitive capability for the far left democrat socialism wing of the supreme court. After all, the democrat party’s motto is to rape the treasury’s coffers to feed their base, since everyone is entitled to feel good, a million dollar bank account, and a big house. Conversely, once, again, though you can count on Justice Thomas to be on point with the reality of the real legal question, superb interpretation based upon the facts, and proper context of the citizenship issue from its origin. Let’s take a look.
“After the Civil War, the Reconstruction Congress overruled Dred Scott, first with the Civil Rights Act of 1866, then with the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Both the Civil Rights Act and the Citizenship Clause guaranteed citizenship to persons born and domiciled in the United States regardless of their race. Neither guaranteed citizenship to persons who were not domiciled in the United States.
Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were Americans. They had no other homeland, owed no allegiance to any foreign power, and were subject to no other authority. They “fought and bled in the same battles,” “gained and gloried in the same victories,” and were “liable to be called upon to defend [America] in time of war” alongside every other citizen. Life and Writings of Frederick Douglass 256, 266 (P. Foner ed. 1950) (Douglass).” Justice Thomas
That’s not all – hold on to your hats:
“the Court cannot grant relief to any party without a right of action. See Whole Woman’s Health v. Jackson, 595 U. S. 30, 52 (2021) (THOMAS, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part). But, it grants relief here on the basis of a suit brought under the Citizenship Clause, the INA, and the APA. The Citizenship Clause and the INA’s equivalent, by their terms, create no right of action. The APA authorizes suits challenging “final agency action,” but the plaintiffs did not allege any final agency action. See 5 U. S. C. §704; Bennett v. Spear, 520 U. S. 154, 177–178 (1997).” Justice Thomas
Baby Baby
Can someone call in the Harvard big guns to help the far left hook and crook socialist wing of the Supreme Court comprehend the foregoing?
What we have here is Justice Thomas showcasing the make believe jurisprudence of the democrat party, which in this case flagrantly sought to graft the original citizenship issue, which dealt with Blacks being excluded from citizenship as a result of flagrant racism, into the present day scenario of every illegal and/or unlawfully present couple from South America (and everywhere else), now being enabled entry into the USA with their pregnant wife – who could have carried the child 8 months outside of the USA, then upon entry into the USA for the last month of the pregnancy term – give birth and voila here is your citizenship card, and assortment of freebies (preferably permanent freebies if the democrats have their way – such as to earn lifetime loyal voters) all on government’s dime.
It might be worth noting that the same government coffers are well into $37 trillion USD upside down. No worries though, when the treasury coffers run empty the democrats will simply seize the assets of the wealthy – you know: the builders, creators, innovators, and forward progressive intellectuals to hand over such assets to the democrat's base of “I’m entitled to a million dollar house too because we are all human.” By definition this is hyper radical socialism that is going to get ugly - very very ugly - before it is over.
This paradigm shift did not begin in 2025 under this current Trump administration; but, rather under then president Biden. The GOP and conservatives in general have been in a losing battle, since president Biden entered office. And the GOP have no one to blame but themselves as they played politics knowing the economic and social death trap president Biden was cultivating. The GOP could and should have impeached Biden, but they played politics and allowed the current paradigm shift to take place, and since then the GOP, along with conservatives, have been losing ever since -- with no real wins in sight. This climate of hyper politics on steroids is a major contributor to the exodus out of the USA. The hyper politics with no winning in sight for the sensible (most often conservatives but not exclusively) is illustrated, since the GOP effectively has shown up to a old school wild west gun fight armed only with switch blade knifes. That's a loser deal guaranteed. The GOP just does not know how to deal with hook and crook democrats to get anything sensible done - economic or social wise.
To be clear, there is nothing wrong with providing a real world safety net for citizens such that an illness or job loss does not equate to financial disaster. In fact, for the world’s wealthiest nation, providing such a safety net to citizens is not only being socially responsible, it makes for good economic policy as doing so incentives those who simply may have had the carpet pulled from underneath them to get back out there and continue active participation in their own economic journey while contributing to the nation’s GDP.
On the other hand, what the far left democrats are doing here, via this supreme court decision, spells financial upheaval as it incentives far too many people to do little to nothing, become dependent on permanent government subsidizes, freebies, and ultimately social welfare. Sure life can be tough and met with slip and falls; but, good government should never advance the fear of getting back out into the workforce via excessive or permanent government dependency. That is politics – bad politics – from which everyone ultimately suffers – later versus sooner. But in the world of politics and politicians its all about politicians keeping their six figures salaries with all the perks and paying the mortgage for their Mac Mansions – politics first, people last - if ever. That’s the democrat way. Oh but watch with whom you pick as a friend, if its the GOP you might just wind up dead or exiled as a foreigner which is quite the opposite of the victory achieved by the massive wave of unlawful and illegals in the USA these days. And with the democrats hatred and intense acrimony towards ICE, expect this supreme court ruling to lead to a massive increase of illegal and unlawful immigrants into the USA.
